Dubai is a fun and frivolous playground on the Persian Gulf, but don’t consider it the Vegas of the Middle East. Many a foreigner has been thrown in jail for unwittingly committing an offense.
So here are 12 things not to do when in Dubai.
Number 1;
Don’t do Drugs.
Dubai has zero tolerance towards possession, use and selling of drugs. Even prescription drugs may be considered contraband.
2.
Don’t Drink in Public.
Go easy on that all-you-can-drink champagne brunch, nightclub or bar binge.
3.
No Nudity.
Women must refrain from going topless at the beach. And even men should cover-up, when walking through the streets.
4.
No Song and Dance.
Don't play loud music or dance in the streets. Resist the urge until you’re on an official dance floor.
5.
No Kissing in Public.
A British couple was jailed for having sex on a beach, but even kissing can get you in trouble.
6.
Watch your Tongue.
Avoid cussing and blasphemous remarks against Islam. Many foreigners have been jailed for making an off-the-cuff comment.
7.
Keep Style Sensible.
Dubai is a stylish cosmopolitan city but there has been a recent crackdown on women wearing tight, short, skimpy, or suggestive clothing.
8.
Watch your Photography.
It is considered rude and intrusive to snap shots of people, especially women, without expressed permission.
9.
Watch Your Wallet.
Dubai has a low crime rate and one tends to get complacent but petty crime does happen here, as everywhere.
10.
Keep Your GayViews on the Quiet.
Any sexual relations outside of a traditional marriage is considered a crime in Dubai.
11.
Don’t Eat in Public During Ramadan.
Do not eat, drink or smoke in public while Muslims are fasting. Even chewing gum is disrespectful.
And number 12.
Don’t Use Your Left Hand!
The left hand is traditionally used for “body hygiene” in Muslim cultures, so don’t greet anyone with a left handed shake, open doors and above all, don’t hand somebody food, with your left hand.
Now you can enjoy your stay in one of the World's most influential cities.

FirstINTERPOL workshop in Dubai underlines region's strategic role against illicit trade
Cooperation with EIPA seeks to boost global response to intellectual property crime
DUBAI, UAE -- Senior law enforcement officials from the United Arab Emirates have gathered in Dubai for the first INTERPOL Intellectual PropertyCrimesWorkshop in the Middle East to identify how authorities across the region can work more closely via INTERPOL to combat transnational organized illicit trade.
Co-organized with the Emirates Intellectual Property Association (EIPA), the two-day operational planning workshop (24-25 November) was organized by INTERPOL's Trafficking in IllicitGoods and Counterfeiting (TIGC) programme and held under the aegis of the 3rd Conference on the FightAgainst Intellectual Property Crime.
Some 300 police and customs officials from across the UAE discussed the global challenges posed by illicit trade and the criminal networks behind this type of crime, with the aim of developing solutions to boost regional and international cooperation for a more effective global response.
Lieutenant GeneralDahi Khalfan Tamim, Deputy Chairman of Police and Security in Dubai city, said: "The Dubai Police has a long history of close and successful cooperation with INTERPOL in turning back crime. We welcome this first operational planning workshop to establish a framework against the growing crime and corruption tied to illicit trade.
"This specific type of crime has an international dimension that requires coordination at a regional and global level if we are to be successful in protecting the intellectual property of the 'creative generation'. By working closely together we can send a strong message to the transnational criminal networks which use illicit trade as a key funding source."
With the INTERPOL workshop underlining the strategic geographical location of the UAE both as a trade gateway to the Middle East and Africa and a regional trade hub between Europe and Asia, EIPA Chairman Major General Abdelkoudos Aloubaidali said: "The Emirates Intellectual Property Association is very proud to launch this strategic partnership with INTERPOL to unify all efforts within the UAE against IP crime and help national partners create a cooperation bridge with international bodies.
"INTERPOL'sTrafficking inIllicitGoods andCounterfeiting programme adds another facet to the fight against illicit trade in the region and EIPA will join this effort to make the world a safer place," the EIPA Chairman added.
The Head of INTERPOL 's Trafficking in Illicit Goods and Counterfeiting programme, Michael Ellis, said illicit trade had grown to an unprecedented level, posing tremendous risks to society and the global economy.
"Through the workshop, INTERPOL has sought to develop a platform of cooperation which will lead to capacity building and operations in what is a major business hub and gateway for the movement of goods through the region," said Mr Ellis.
"This meeting is important because Dubai is a centre for commerce and technology and is the bridge between the Middle East and the West for goods produced in Asia."
Mr Ellis said that since the start of the year, counterfeit goods worth USD 176 million had been seized globally via INTERPOL operations and that many criminal networks were disrupted and destroyed as a result of collaborative enforcement actions.

A general distinction can be made between (a) civil lawjurisdictions (including Catholic canon law and socialist law), in which the legislature or other central body codifies and consolidates their laws, and (b) common law systems, where judge-made precedent is accepted as binding law. Historically, religious laws played a significant role even in settling of secular matters, which is still the case in some religious communities, particularly Jewish, and some countries, particularly Islamic. Islamic Sharia law is the world's most widely used religious law.

United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emiratesi/juːˌnaɪtᵻdˌærəbˈɛmɪrᵻts/ (Arabic:دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة‎Dawlat al-Imārāt al-‘Arabīyah al-Muttaḥidah), sometimes simply called the Emirates or the UAE, is a country located in the southeast end of the Arabian Peninsula on the Persian Gulf, bordering Oman to the east and Saudi Arabia to the south, as well as sharing sea borders with Qatar and Iran. In 2013, the UAE's total population was 9.2 million, of which 1.4 million are Emirati citizens and 7.8 million are expatriates.

Dubai has emerged as a global city and business hub of the Middle East. It is also a major transport hub for passengers and cargo. By the 1960s Dubai's economy was based on revenues from trade and, to a smaller extent, oil exploration concessions, but oil was not discovered until 1966. Oil revenue first started to flow in 1969. Dubai's oil revenue helped accelerate the early development of the city, but its reserves are limited and production levels are low: today, less than 5% of the emirate's revenue comes from oil. The emirate's Western-style model of business drives its economy with the main revenues now coming from tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services. Dubai has recently attracted world attention through many innovative large construction projects and sports events. The city has become iconic for its skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, in particular the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Dubai has been criticised for human rights violations concerning the city's largely South Asian workforce. Dubai's property market experienced a major deterioration in 2008–09 following the financial crisis of 2007–08, but the emirate's economy has made a return to growth, with a projected 2015 budget surplus.

Sharia

Sharia, Islamic sharia or Islamic law (Arabic:شريعة‎ (IPA:[ʃaˈriːʕa]) for law) is the basic Islamic legal system derived from the religious precepts of Islam, particularly the Quran and the Hadith. The term sharia comes from the Arabic language term sharīʿah, which means a body of moral and religious law derived from religious prophecy, as opposed to human legislation.

Sharia deals with many topics, including crime, politics, marriage contracts, trade regulations, religious prescriptions, and economics, as well as personal matters such as sexual intercourse, hygiene, diet, prayer, everyday etiquette and fasting. Adherence to sharia has served as one of the distinguishing characteristics of the Muslim faith historically. In its strictest definition, sharia is considered in Islam as the infallible law of God.

There are two primary sources of sharia: the Quran, and the Hadiths (opinions and life example of Muhammad). For topics and issues not directly addressed in these primary sources, sharia is derived. The derivation differs between the various sects of Islam (Sunni and Shia are the majority), and various jurisprudence schools such as Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali and Jafari. The sharia in these schools is derived hierarchically using one or more of the following guidelines: Ijma (usually the consensus of Muhammad's companions), Qiyas (analogy derived from the primary sources), Istihsan (ruling that serves the interest of Islam in the discretion of Islamic jurists) and Urf (customs).

nited Arab of Emirates visualized and explained in plain English in a nutshell.
The United Arab Emirates , is a federal State founded In 1971 , and It consists of 7 sovereign provinces, governing their own territories.
The Constitution established the legal system , based on 5 pillars as follows :
the Supreme Council of Rulers ,
The President and his deputy ,

the National Council
and The Judiciary.
The Cabinet , propose and draft the bills
before submitting the bill to the federal National Council ,

but cannot initiate a new legislation, seeings its role as a consultative ( advisory ) body;
The FNC’s official mandate is to provide for public debate of legislation.
once reviewed by the FNC, The proposed legislation, is presented to the President for signature , after being ratified by the Supreme Council , who is the highest Authority within the Federation , and comprises the Rulers of the seven Emirates.

Dubai is a fun and frivolous playground on the Persian Gulf, but don’t consider it the Vegas of the Middle East. Many a foreigner has been thrown in jail for unwittingly committing an offense.
So here are 12 things not to do when in Dubai.
Number 1;
Don’t do Drugs.
Dubai has zero tolerance towards possession, use and selling of drugs. Even prescription drugs may be considered contraband.
2.
Don’t Drink in Public.
Go easy on that all-you-can-drink champagne brunch, nightclub or bar binge.
3.
No Nudity.
Women must refrain from going topless at the beach. And even men should cover-up, when walking through the streets.
4.
No Song and Dance.
Don't play loud music or dance in the streets. Resist the urge until you’re on an official dance floor.
5.
No Kissing in Public.
A British couple was jailed for having sex on a beach, but even kissing can get you in trouble.
6.
Watch your Tongue.
Avoid cussing and blasphemous remarks against Islam. Many foreigners have been jailed for making an off-the-cuff comment.
7.
Keep Style Sensible.
Dubai is a stylish cosmopolitan city but there has been a recent crackdown on women wearing tight, short, skimpy, or suggestive clothing.
8.
Watch your Photography.
It is considered rude and intrusive to snap shots of people, especially women, without expressed permission.
9.
Watch Your Wallet.
Dubai has a low crime rate and one tends to get complacent but petty crime does happen here, as everywhere.
10.
Keep Your GayViews on the Quiet.
Any sexual relations outside of a traditional marriage is considered a crime in Dubai.
11.
Don’t Eat in Public During Ramadan.
Do not eat, drink or smoke in public while Muslims are fasting. Even chewing gum is disrespectful.
And number 12.
Don’t Use Your Left Hand!
The left hand is traditionally used for “body hygiene” in Muslim cultures, so don’t greet anyone with a left handed shake, open doors and above all, don’t hand somebody food, with your left hand.
Now you can enjoy your stay in one of the World's most influential cities.

FirstINTERPOL workshop in Dubai underlines region's strategic role against illicit trade
Cooperation with EIPA seeks to boost global response to intellectual property crime
DUBAI, UAE -- Senior law enforcement officials from the United Arab Emirates have gathered in Dubai for the first INTERPOL Intellectual PropertyCrimesWorkshop in the Middle East to identify how authorities across the region can work more closely via INTERPOL to combat transnational organized illicit trade.
Co-organized with the Emirates Intellectual Property Association (EIPA), the two-day operational planning workshop (24-25 November) was organized by INTERPOL's Trafficking in IllicitGoods and Counterfeiting (TIGC) programme and held under the aegis of the 3rd Conference on the FightAgainst Intellectual Property Crime.
Some 300 police and customs officials from across the UAE discussed the global challenges posed by illicit trade and the criminal networks behind this type of crime, with the aim of developing solutions to boost regional and international cooperation for a more effective global response.
Lieutenant GeneralDahi Khalfan Tamim, Deputy Chairman of Police and Security in Dubai city, said: "The Dubai Police has a long history of close and successful cooperation with INTERPOL in turning back crime. We welcome this first operational planning workshop to establish a framework against the growing crime and corruption tied to illicit trade.
"This specific type of crime has an international dimension that requires coordination at a regional and global level if we are to be successful in protecting the intellectual property of the 'creative generation'. By working closely together we can send a strong message to the transnational criminal networks which use illicit trade as a key funding source."
With the INTERPOL workshop underlining the strategic geographical location of the UAE both as a trade gateway to the Middle East and Africa and a regional trade hub between Europe and Asia, EIPA Chairman Major General Abdelkoudos Aloubaidali said: "The Emirates Intellectual Property Association is very proud to launch this strategic partnership with INTERPOL to unify all efforts within the UAE against IP crime and help national partners create a cooperation bridge with international bodies.
"INTERPOL'sTrafficking inIllicitGoods andCounterfeiting programme adds another facet to the fight against illicit trade in the region and EIPA will join this effort to make the world a safer place," the EIPA Chairman added.
The Head of INTERPOL 's Trafficking in Illicit Goods and Counterfeiting programme, Michael Ellis, said illicit trade had grown to an unprecedented level, posing tremendous risks to society and the global economy.
"Through the workshop, INTERPOL has sought to develop a platform of cooperation which will lead to capacity building and operations in what is a major business hub and gateway for the movement of goods through the region," said Mr Ellis.
"This meeting is important because Dubai is a centre for commerce and technology and is the bridge between the Middle East and the West for goods produced in Asia."
Mr Ellis said that since the start of the year, counterfeit goods worth USD 176 million had been seized globally via INTERPOL operations and that many criminal networks were disrupted and destroyed as a result of collaborative enforcement actions.

Women Behind the Scenes: How Modernity is Catching on Before Law in the United Arab Emirates

The UAE is ranked as a leader in gender equality in the MENA region, according to the World Economic Forum’s 2016 Global Gender Gap report. This achievement comes from the fundamental belief that women and men are equal partners in society. Through a series of public and private sector initiatives, women are playing an increasingly stronger role in business, military and government.
The report shows that of all countries in the MENA region, the UAE has made the most progress vis-à-vis political empowerment. Women’s participation is particularly strong in the public sector. In 2015, the UAE announced the establishment of the Gender Balance Council, a federal entity that increases the role of women in leadership positions and strengthens institutional capacity. Eight women serve in the UAE...

Dubai was meant to be a Middle-Eastern Shangri-La, a glittering monument to Arab enterprise and western capitalism. But as hard times arrive in the city state that rose from the desert sands, an uglier story is emerging. Johann Hari reports
The wide, smiling face of Sheikh Mohammed – the absolute ruler of Dubai – beams down on his creation. His image is displayed on every other building, sandwiched between the more familiar corporate rictuses of Ronald McDonald and Colonel Sanders. This man has sold Dubai to the world as the city of One Thousand and One ArabianLights, a Shangri-La in the Middle East insulated from the dust-storms blasting across the region. He dominates the Manhattan-manqué skyline, beaming out from row after row of glass pyramids and hotels smelted into the shape of piles of golden coins. And there he stands on the tallest building in the world – a skinny spike, jabbing farther into the sky than any other human construction in history.
But something has flickered in Sheikh Mohammed's smile. The ubiquitous cranes have paused on the skyline, as if stuck in time. There are countless buildings half-finished, seemingly abandoned. In the swankiest new constructions – like the vast Atlantis hotel, a giant pink castle built in 1,000 days for $1.5bn on its own artificial island – where rainwater is leaking from the ceilings and the tiles are falling off the roof. This Neverland was built on the Never-Never – and now the cracks are beginning to show. Suddenly it looks less like Manhattan in the sun than Iceland in the desert.
Once the manic burst of building has stopped and the whirlwind has slowed, the secrets of Dubai are slowly seeping out. This is a city built from nothing in just a few wild decades on credit and ecocide, suppression and slavery. Dubai is a living metal metaphor for the neo-liberal globalised world that may be crashing – at last – into history.
I. An AdultDisneylandKaren Andrews can't speak. Every time she starts to tell her story, she puts her head down and crumples.

Dubai was meant to be a Middle-Eastern Shangri-La, a glittering monument to Arab enterprise and western capitalism. But as hard times arrive in the city state that rose from the desert sands, an uglier story is emerging. Johann Hari reports
The wide, smiling face of Sheikh Mohammed – the absolute ruler of Dubai – beams down on his creation. His image is displayed on every other building, sandwiched between the more familiar corporate rictuses of Ronald McDonald and Colonel Sanders. This man has sold Dubai to the world as the city of One Thousand and One ArabianLights, a Shangri-La in the Middle East insulated from the dust-storms blasting across the region. He dominates the Manhattan-manqué skyline, beaming out from row after row of glass pyramids and hotels smelted into the shape of piles of golden coins. And there he stands on the tallest building in the world – a skinny spike, jabbing farther into the sky than any other human construction in history.
But something has flickered in Sheikh Mohammed's smile. The ubiquitous cranes have paused on the skyline, as if stuck in time. There are countless buildings half-finished, seemingly abandoned. In the swankiest new constructions – like the vast Atlantis hotel, a giant pink castle built in 1,000 days for $1.5bn on its own artificial island – where rainwater is leaking from the ceilings and the tiles are falling off the roof. This Neverland was built on the Never-Never – and now the cracks are beginning to show. Suddenly it looks less like Manhattan in the sun than Iceland in the desert.
Once the manic burst of building has stopped and the whirlwind has slowed, the secrets of Dubai are slowly seeping out. This is a city built from nothing in just a few wild decades on credit and ecocide, suppression and slavery. Dubai is a living metal metaphor for the neo-liberal globalised world that may be crashing – at last – into history.

The UAE is ranked as a leader in gender equality in the MENA region, according to the World Economic Forum’s 2016 Global Gender Gap report. This achievement comes from the fundamental belief that women and men are equal partners in society. Through a series of public and private sector initiatives, women are playing an increasingly stronger role in business, military and government.
The report shows that of all countries in the MENA region, the UAE has made the most progress vis-à-vis political empowerment. Women’s participation is particularly strong in the public sector. In 2015, the UAE announced the establishment of the Gender Balance Council, a federal entity that increases the role of women in leadership positions and strengthens institutional capacity. Eight women serve in the UAE cabinet; Twenty percent of the diplomatic corps and two-thirds of government sector workers are women, with 30% in senior and decision-making positions. In theFederal National Council (FNC), women account for nearly a quarter of the UAE’s consultative parliamentary body, holding nine of 40 seats. Over the last decade the security sector has opened up to women as well.
In light of the strides made by the UAE and the progress to be made both in the MENA region and globally, the Women inPublic ServiceProject is pleased to launch a new publication entitled "Women Behind the Scenes: How Modernity is Catching on Before Law in the United Arab Emirates."
Join the Women in Public Service Project and the Middle EastProgram at the Wilson Center for a panel discussion with Sheikha Lubna Al-Qasimi, UAE Minister of State for Tolerance, and author Kent Davis-Packard, Ph.D. The conversation will be moderated by WPSPDirector Gwen K. Young.

So how did Marcus Lee end up in filthy Dubai jails for nine months, unaware of what he’d done wrong? And why, when authorities finally charged him in connection with an alleged multi-million dollar property fraud, did it take close to five years to navigate the legal system, ultimately clear his name and return home?

Regulating the Other: Stories from Iran, Israel and the United Arab Emirates

UAE Legal System explained | Lex Animata | Hesham Elrafei

Legal system of the United Arab Emirates
By Hesham Elrafei
https://www.linkedin.com/in/heshamelrafei
The legal and courts system in the U
nited Arab of Emirates visualized and explained in plain English in a nutshell.
The United Arab Emirates , is a federal State founded In 1971 , and It consists of 7 sovereign provinces, governing their own territories.
The Constitution established the legal system , based on 5 pillars as follows :
the Supreme Council of Rulers ,
The President and his deputy ,
the Council of Ministers ,
the National Council
and The Judiciary.
The Cabinet , propose and draft the bills
before submitting the bill to the federal National Council ,
which reviews the bill , and can only propose amendments ,
but cannot initiate a new legislation, seeings its role as a consultative ( advisory ) body;
The FNC’s official mandate is to provide for public debate of legislation.
once reviewed by the FNC, The proposed legislation, is presented to the President for signature , after being ratified by the Supreme Council , who is the highest Authority within the Federation , and comprises the Rulers of the seven Emirates.
On the other hand, the courts system is based upon civil law principles, and Islamic jurisprudence, while some free zones have their own English speaking courts, modeled on the common law judicial system, like Abu Dhabi Global Market , and Dubai International Financial Centre.
Some emirates have their own local independent courts
Like Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah , While the others are part of the Federal Court system ( Sharjah, Fujairah, Umm al-Quwain, and Ajman),
The court system is divided into three layers : a trial first instance court , An intermediate appellate court ( the court Appeal ) ,
and a last resort court ( the Court of Cassation )
The Court of FirstInstance , has general jurisdiction to hear all disputes , And it's divided into three main sections: and review evidence to determine the facts of the case; Civil, Criminal, and personal status.
The civil cases section, looks into civil, commercial, administrative, and labour disputes; While the personal status court , has jurisdiction over family cases. like inheritance , divorce , Alimony and child custody.
Lastly the criminal sections, looks into offences like contraventions (violations), misdemeanors, and felonies cases, referred to the court by the public prosecution , who initiates the criminal process , By filing the case, investigating it , and imposing charges on the accused person.
Appeal against a Court of First Instance decision, is made to the intermediate appellate court , on factual or legal grounds.
If still not happy with the Court of Appeal decision, the parties may appeal , on points of law alone , to the Court of Cassation , whose decisions are final and are not subject to appeal .
While there is no system of precedent, Lower courts must observe the principles set down by the Court of Cassation.
On the other hand, some cases must be heard by the Federal Supreme Court , like state security offences , the interpretation of the Constitution and the constitutionality of Laws, the hearing of offences committed by senior officials , and disputes between the 7 emirates.

12 Things Not To Do In Dubai

Dubai is a fun and frivolous playground on the Persian Gulf, but don’t consider it the Vegas of the Middle East. Many a foreigner has been thrown in jail for unwittingly committing an offense.
So here are 12 things not to do when in Dubai.
Number 1;
Don’t do Drugs.
Dubai has zero tolerance towards possession, use and selling of drugs. Even prescription drugs may be considered contraband.
2.
Don’t Drink in Public.
Go easy on that all-you-can-drink champagne brunch, nightclub or bar binge.
3.
No Nudity.
Women must refrain from going topless at the beach. And even men should cover-up, when walking through the streets.
4.
No Song and Dance.
Don't play loud music or dance in the streets. Resist the urge until you’re on an official dance floor.
5.
No Kissing in Public.
A British couple was jailed for having sex on a beach, but even kissing can get you in trouble.
6.
Watch your Tongue.
Avoid cussing and blasphemous remarks against Islam. Many foreigners have been jailed for making an off-the-cuff comment.
7.
Keep Style Sensible.
Dubai is a stylish cosmopolitan city but there has been a recent crackdown on women wearing tight, short, skimpy, or suggestive clothing.
8.
Watch your Photography.
It is considered rude and intrusive to snap shots of people, especially women, without expressed permission.
9.
Watch Your Wallet.
Dubai has a low crime rate and one tends to get complacent but petty crime does happen here, as everywhere.
10.
Keep Your GayViews on the Quiet.
Any sexual relations outside of a traditional marriage is considered a crime in Dubai.
11.
Don’t Eat in Public During Ramadan.
Do not eat, drink or smoke in public while Muslims are fasting. Even chewing gum is disrespectful.
And number 12.
Don’t Use Your Left Hand!
The left hand is traditionally used for “body hygiene” in Muslim cultures, so don’t greet anyone with a left handed shake, open doors and above all, don’t hand somebody food, with your left hand.
Now you can enjoy your stay in one of the World's most influential cities.

INTERPOL Police Operational Workshop, Dubai UAE

FirstINTERPOL workshop in Dubai underlines region's strategic role against illicit trade
Cooperation with EIPA seeks to boost global response to intellectual property crime
DUBAI, UAE -- Senior law enforcement officials from the United Arab Emirates have gathered in Dubai for the first INTERPOL Intellectual PropertyCrimesWorkshop in the Middle East to identify how authorities across the region can work more closely via INTERPOL to combat transnational organized illicit trade.
Co-organized with the Emirates Intellectual Property Association (EIPA), the two-day operational planning workshop (24-25 November) was organized by INTERPOL's Trafficking in IllicitGoods and Counterfeiting (TIGC) programme and held under the aegis of the 3rd Conference on the FightAgainst Intellectual Property Crime.
Some 300 police and customs officials from across the UAE discussed the global challenges posed by illicit trade and the criminal networks behind this type of crime, with the aim of developing solutions to boost regional and international cooperation for a more effective global response.
Lieutenant GeneralDahi Khalfan Tamim, Deputy Chairman of Police and Security in Dubai city, said: "The Dubai Police has a long history of close and successful cooperation with INTERPOL in turning back crime. We welcome this first operational planning workshop to establish a framework against the growing crime and corruption tied to illicit trade.
"This specific type of crime has an international dimension that requires coordination at a regional and global level if we are to be successful in protecting the intellectual property of the 'creative generation'. By working closely together we can send a strong message to the transnational criminal networks which use illicit trade as a key funding source."
With the INTERPOL workshop underlining the strategic geographical location of the UAE both as a trade gateway to the Middle East and Africa and a regional trade hub between Europe and Asia, EIPA Chairman Major General Abdelkoudos Aloubaidali said: "The Emirates Intellectual Property Association is very proud to launch this strategic partnership with INTERPOL to unify all efforts within the UAE against IP crime and help national partners create a cooperation bridge with international bodies.
"INTERPOL'sTrafficking inIllicitGoods andCounterfeiting programme adds another facet to the fight against illicit trade in the region and EIPA will join this effort to make the world a safer place," the EIPA Chairman added.
The Head of INTERPOL 's Trafficking in Illicit Goods and Counterfeiting programme, Michael Ellis, said illicit trade had grown to an unprecedented level, posing tremendous risks to society and the global economy.
"Through the workshop, INTERPOL has sought to develop a platform of cooperation which will lead to capacity building and operations in what is a major business hub and gateway for the movement of goods through the region," said Mr Ellis.
"This meeting is important because Dubai is a centre for commerce and technology and is the bridge between the Middle East and the West for goods produced in Asia."
Mr Ellis said that since the start of the year, counterfeit goods worth USD 176 million had been seized globally via INTERPOL operations and that many criminal networks were disrupted and destroyed as a result of collaborative enforcement actions.

Women Behind the Scenes: How Modernity is Catching on Before Law in the United Arab Emirates

The UAE is ranked as a leader in gender equality in the MENA region, according to the World Economic Forum’s 2016 Global Gender Gap report. This achievement comes from the fundamental belief that women and men are equal partners in society. Through a series of public and private sector initiatives, women are playing an increasingly stronger role in business, military and government.
The report shows that of all countries in the MENA region, the UAE has made the most progress vis-à-vis political empowerment. Women’s participation is particularly strong in the public sector. In 2015, the UAE announced the establishment of the Gender Balance Council, a federal entity that increases the role of women in leadership positions and strengthens institutional capacity. Eight women serve in the UAE cabinet; Twenty percent of the diplomatic corps and two-thirds of government sector workers are women, with 30% in senior and decision-making positions. In theFederal National Council (FNC), women account for nearly a quarter of the UAE’s consultative parliamentary body, holding nine of 40 seats. Over the last decade the security sector has opened up to women as well.
In light of the strides made by the UAE and the progress to be made both in the MENA region and globally, the Women inPublic ServiceProject is pleased to launch a new publication entitled "Women Behind the Scenes: How Modernity is Catching on Before Law in the United Arab Emirates."
